Muzzies?...FAE

Nothing is ruled out just yet. I remember from my own travels in Minsk that there are sizable numbers of Pakistanis & Indians (or perhaps Pakistanis who claim to be from India). As far as Fuel-Air-Explosives, there is a special RPG called Shmel ("Bumblebee") that operates on that principle and has been used widely in Chechnya, as well as being exported in great number. Or a fault of my translation, as the original word khlop I took to mean "pop", as "bang" is usually rendered vzryz.

From an earlier Belarusia article about the 2008 attack, which at the time was labeled "hooliganism": "...According to some reports, the police were looking for a dark-skinned man, who shortly before the explosion left a package under a tree."

What I found equally interesting was this phrase: "...Lukashenko in fact ordered Zaitsev to find out 'who stood to profit from this, who does not like a stable and peaceful environment in our country.' 'You should have enough materials,' said Lukashenko."

I very much wanted to change that to: "said Lukashenko ominously", but that would be cheating.

The few opposition members remaining alive and free know things are going to get even more difficult: "...the authorities could use the incident to put pressure on the opposition and accuse it of involvement."

Some "tweets" from Minsk that I found interesting:

After the explosion the taxi-vans are carrying people free of charge. Russia’s a long way from such reciprocity (a reference to reported taxi overcharges following last year’s Moscow subway attacks).

I passed by October Square. People coming out of the subway in smoke and ashes. Bunch of fire trucks.

‘First Channel’ news laid it all out in a minute and a half... So, it’s just an ordinary event...
